I have to say "thank you", "thank you". I truly looked forward to the Tuesday class every week. Not only did it help connect me back to myself and my little bundle, I felt supported through my pregnancy by just being surrounded by people that were going through the same thing, if only for an hour a week. I felt at home and at peace in your studio. And it was really nice to chat with you for a couple of minutes before or after class.... you made me feel at home in Winston-Salem. Moving from Chattanooga was much harder than I anticipated. I am so thankful that I chose Yoga Gallery over other offerings in the city. Thank you!

Stacy Wheeler

Thank you so much for teaching such an amazing prenatal yoga class; I really feel that it made a big positive impact on my birth experience. I'm so happy to have taken part in the class; it was an important part of my pregnancy. I miss it already, especially the feeling of community it gave me. I am also looking forward to getting back to your regular yoga classes once my body is ready. I hope you'll be able to meet Sawyer sometime soon; he wants to thank you for the infant massage book because he's thoroughly enjoying its benefits!

PRENATAL YOGA CLASS

The great events are babies, for each child comes with the message that God is not yet discouraged with humanity but is still expecting good-will to become incarnate in each human life." - Edmond McDonald

Pregnancy is a time of change, wonder, excitement and discovery.Whether this is your first child or your fourth, let us assist you in making this pregnancy and birth a wondrous journey.

Benefits of Prenatal Yoga

Prenatal yoga will have a dramatic effect on your energy level.

The flow of your breath will be easy and your circulation will improve.

You will learn to adjust to the many changes occurring in your body.

Your posture will become more balanced.

The breath work will prime you for labor and childbirth by training you to stay calm when you need it most.

Yoga will help you to focus on and experience your pregnancy in a deeper way.

You will feel yourself becoming more grounded and deeply in tune with nature as you learn to relax, remove your uncertainties and open your heart.

Prenatal yoga is a great way to meet and bond with other pregnant women and to become part of a community.

Sweet Update from one of our Yoga Moms

Hi Judi! I thought you'd appreciate these photos from today. We had my baby shower for baby #2 due in August. My family and closest friends were there, and they included the lovely ladies I met in your prenatal yoga class. The pics are only of 4 of us, but there are 7 that get together at least once a month for girls night, and sometimes twice a month to do a play date as well. You were right! These girls mean the world to me, and we really cherish one another's thoughts, advice, and friendship. Thanks for leading us to each other!

I try so hard to teach them the importance of a Sangha and I love it when it happens. Thanks for whatever you can do with it. Hope all is well with you!!!!

Megan Metzger Experiencing natural labor was painful and very different than an epideral birth but I had no tearing and was able to handle the pain thanks to the birthing breath and envisioning your voice Judi telling us we were going to be amazing moms.

So while things didn't go the way I had planned or experienced in the past Emma Grace was perfect in every way and I have recovered quickly.

Thank you Judi for all you do. I know owning a business can be hard but you ARE making a difference in many women's lives. I can speak personally that my past two pregnancies and deliveries have been much more comfortable and easier due to the yoga techniques you have taught me.

Jennifer Mastin Thank you to all of you for all the support during our classes. Big thank you to Judi Maloy! I was complimented many times during L&D on my breathing and I know it was from practicing yoga. Ladies continue working your upper abdominal muscles!

Erin Meadwell Muller I attribute all of my yoga classes to 90% of my being prepared for labor and my super-easy recovery (hardheadedness gets the other 10%) Ana MotaLucas' delivery was very fast!! I was impressed!! My doctor was impressed with my progress and I want to thank you for all the help during my pregancy! I definately think Prenatal Yoga has helped me during the pushes specially with my breathing!

Emily Dunn-Verheyen I can’t tell you how much I think my yoga and exercise helped make my pregnancy, labor and delivery an easy and wonderful experience. I was in labor less than 9 hours and pushed for only about 30 minutes. My body recovered amazingly quickly too. Your prenatal class was wonderful, a highlight for me every week and I will recommend it to every pregnant lady I meet!

Melanie ClodgoTaking prenatal yoga classes really helped me get through my first pregnancy peacefully. It was great to have some "me time" to look forward to every week, and to know I was doing something so good for my health and the baby. I only missed one class the entire time when I was really sick and couldn't get out of bed! I had a very easy pregnancy, and I think the physical and mental benefits of yoga really helped. It was also a great way to meet other pregnant women and be able to share our stories. I will definitely be back if I decide to do this again. Now I am hoping Judi will add a post-natal class!! Well thanks for all the encouragement and advice during classes. By the way, you can also share that the Kegels helped - no perineal tear!! Hopefully Micah and I will be back for some regular classes when things settle down here a bit!!
